Guardians Of The Galaxy in The Book of Judgement

... It's not only not good. It's bad.

Let's ignore the plot holes and slip ups, and who shallow universe of the core worlds (where a street cop talks to the president) and 40ks heretics (but only when it's convenient) are the only people, and that Jesus and 4 or the only 10 aliens in the galaxy go to a few places we've seen before with generic names to do generic things to string along a bland story inset catch phrase supplemented with big budget booms for the lowest common denominator the marketing department can push for and the Hollywood cheese and pants acting and all of that...

Ignoring all that we're seeing precedents set and we are paying millions to feed them... comic book conversions take the lead over novel conversion which isn't a bad thing per say (tho my own tastes lead to heavy narrative) and are carded as original stories while effectively making it up as they go, trimming down huge serials into a few action scenes and spamming them...

It makes me so very very concerned that the upcoming Lobo film is going to see a reduced characters just farting about to retrieves the special thing to help defeat the big bad (no need for writers here son) and the anti hero god will be replaced by a lovable rocket esk marionette.

I like I say would also care to see a resurgence of "serious sci fi", akin to Logan's run and Soylent Green, stuff with narrative ... most recently scene in what? the Matrix? Brazil? Children of Men? More of those please...

Just seems that it's only Tom Cruise making sci fi without super heroes these days... I don't know ... It's just gets on my nerves a bit how everyone seems to thing guardians is the best thing since bread was first sliced with a light saber (http://tinyurl.com/l7e9tvr). Ok so I'm a pedant and I'm pretentious and maybe I would have enjoyed it if it wasn't built up so much...

It's a fun romp for all the family with a Conker's bad fur day manner of getting in the adult jokes over the young un's heads, like The Simpsons used too, and it is probably worth a watch ...

Still, If we are going to make comic books into films for the next ten years could we please get Transmetroplitan? or The Invisibles? or 100 bullets? ... I hear there is a Preacher coming up but apparently they are doing a Hellblazer on it.
